A pervert teacher at the Scientologists Greenfield School in Forest Row who sexually
assaulted young boys has been jailed for five years.
Mark Kent, 32, of Lewes Road, Forest Row, molested six teenage schoolboys over a
period of seven years and took filthy videos of himself in sex acts with his young victims.
Hove Crown Court heard Kent was found to have a videotape shooting scenes from the
cult school’s fete, interspersed with sickening footage of himself and young boys, and
covert filming of naked schoolchildren showering.
Sentencing him Judge Gower QC said: “The boys and parents put their trust in you. You
betrayed it for the gratification of your own perverted lust.”
Kent admitted six charges of indecent assault and one charge of indecent video, asking
for two similar charges to be taken into consideration.
Richard Cherrill, defending, said: “This is a very sad and anxious case from many points
of view.
“Mark had been teaching at the school for about ten years, and nothing untoward
occurred for the first five or so years.
Money
“The boys were his life. He worshipped them and spent money on them and that was not
to corrupt them. The boys loved and trusted him.
“He is thoroughly remorsefuland one hopes and trusts that with certain help there is a
minimal chance of it recurring.
“The boys are still very fond of him and anxious about his future.
“Mr CHerrill added that there was a “flame of hope” for his future because he was now
engaged to a woman, Inga Naurus, who he had met before being arrested by the police.
